After passing through two corridors belonging to the "Examination Zone," Lin Yu arrived at the "Intensive Care Zone."
The entire Intensive Care Zone occupied three corridors, but surprisingly...
Each corridor only had one door located exactly in the middle.
The space utilization was extrely low.
Moreover...
The three large doors appeared to Lin Yu almost like bank vault doors.
Heavy and massive tal doors with primitive chanical locking chanisms.
They even featured dual keyhole designs.
Rather than confining critically ill patients, Lin Yu felt they more resembled cells for holding extrely dangerous criminals or even wild beasts.
But thinking about it, it made sense - even the ultimate killing king Fire Cloud Evil God was imprisoned in an asylum-like place...
The only difference being one was in a basent while this was on the top floor.
Furthermore, judging from the keyhole shapes, Lin Yu could easily deduce...
That the [Key A] and [Key B] in his possession were ant to open one of these ward doors.
This was also why Lin Yu hadn't lingered when passing through the Examination Zone earlier.
Because he noticed that area's doors all had combination locks, leaving no use for keys.
So although he found the "Examination Zone" first, the optimal exploration sequence should be visiting the Intensive Care Zone first to look for those patients.
After all, compared to dical staff, "patients" were relatively friendlier.
"But which doors do these two keys correspond to?"
Lin Yu murmured to himself.
Although there were only three doors, trying them one by one wouldn't take much ti.
However...
Lin Yu wouldn't do that.
After all, these doors were built so impregnably - who knew if inserting the wrong key might trigger so special alarm system?
What if a dozen violent purple-skinned brutes ca charging out to gang up on him? Who could he complain to then?
Therefore, Lin Yu decided to carefully study which doors these two keys belonged to.
After all, above each large door's keyholes were attached so label markings.
Lin Yu felt these might provide hints about which keys to use.
Approaching one large door and looking closely, the tiny text on the labels ca into view.
The left keyhole was labeled "Lock E," the right keyhole labeled "Lock F."
Looking at these lock identifiers and combining them with the item descriptions of the two keys, Lin Yu fell into deep thought.
"Wait, could it really be that simple?"
He quickly crossed two and a half corridors, reached the third intensive care ward door, and found the corresponding identifiers above the two keyholes - "Lock A" and "Lock B."
"It really is that simple!"
After a mont's thought, Lin Yu hesitantly inserted [Key A] and [Key B] into their corresponding keyholes.
Applying slight pressure, the keys smoothly turned counterclockwise.
Then the lock cores made chanical spring-release sounds - followed by internal chanical transmission noises from within the door.
After the sounds finished, the door slowly opened a crack.
From inside ca faint rustling noises.
Lin Yu slowly pulled the door open with effort, and inside...
What Lin Yu saw wasn't a "ward" but a spacious classroom.
Although blackboards hung at both ends with lecterns and multidia projectors set up, there were no desks or chairs.
Instead, there were over a dozen red plastic stools and many easels.
The easels displayed geotric shape artworks with identical main subjects but significantly different details.
Lin Yu could even see the blurred concrete courtyard outside through the classroom's slightly fogged glass windows.
In this empty classroom, only one person sat on a small red plastic stool in the corner.
It was a short-haired girl wearing a bulky gray down jacket and heavy black-frad glasses.
The young girl was slowly modifying the painting on her canvas.
Hearing the ward door open, she turned to look at Lin Yu.
Their eyes t, and Lin Yu was sowhat stunned.
That face belonging to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl...
Was Robin's.
Instantly, Lin Yu felt his scalp tingling.
Why would a younger version of Robin appear in the top-floor ward?
Wait, there were three intensive care wards - did that an...
As Lin Yu's thoughts raced, preparing to speak with this "Robin" to confirm her condition -
Was she so kind of mory projection or sothing else?
But before Lin Yu could speak, the younger Robin version seed to comprehend sothing upon seeing him.
She put down her paintbrush, anxious expression appearing on her face.
"Get out of here!"
After saying this, seeing Lin Yu hadn't moved, she anxiously jumped up from her chair, waving her hands.
"It's almost too late!"
As Robin spoke, Lin Yu was stunned.
"What?"
The next mont, Lin Yu suddenly felt intense light coming from behind him.
Blindingly bright white light surged in, making Lin Yu instinctively want to turn and see what was happening.
But he resisted - and quickly did one thing.
"[Bliss Immortal Pot]!"
Lin Yu activated the [Bliss Immortal Pot]'s ability, then took out the [Closed Mind] from it and applied it to himself.
Then he felt himself being engulfed by the white light, intense pain spreading through his body.
The entire asylum was subrged in an ocean of light, everything swallowed by the endless white radiance.
He couldn't see anything before his eyes.
Lin Yu felt his head extrely dizzy... If Lin Yu wasn't mistaken, this white light should be the culprit behind his previous mory loss.
After several dozen seconds, Lin Yu saw the asylum's outline faintly appearing within the white light - rather than appearing, it was more like the white light had receded sowhat.
Using these gradually erging buildings and diminishing brightness within the white light, Lin Yu gained so spatial and directional awareness.
As the light continued washing over everything, Lin Yu suddenly discovered he seed to have gained another perspective.
It was a viewpoint outside the asylum, with ten beams of brilliant light converging high above, like waterfalls pouring down from the celestial canopy.
The light converged, washing over everything within the asylum.
The dual perspectives, both nearly blinding from the glaring radiance, made Lin Yu almost vomit.
He had [Closed Mind], so his soul and spirit were temporarily immune to attacks... Therefore Lin Yu knew this wasn't an "attack" but "truth" itself - even his dizziness was genuine physical discomfort.
So Lin Yu suddenly understood why he would voluntarily deactivate [Closed Mind].
"As long as I maintain [Closed Mind], this state probably won't stop!"
"This state makes it impossible to do anything - it's ten tis worse than mory loss..."
"Damn it... Playing like this, huh!"
Lin Yu forced himself to spit in disgust, taking out the [Ancient Notebook] and [Cyber Ghost's Electronic Coffin].
